My Happy Place

     For those who don't know, I'm a Red Sox fan.  To be honest, I'm more of a Fenway Park fan.  Sure I want the Red Sox to be great and actually win games BUT I'm more in love with going to games than actually watching.  Fenway is my happy place.  My son, Derek, was put on the season ticket wait list when he was born, he's nine now, and last year was his turn to buy!  We opted for a ten game pack because a whole season is just ridiculous, not to mention, not in a teacher's budget.  Ten games is the perfect amount for us.

      Well, when I was invited to WB Mason's trade show at Fenway I cheered.  The boys and I spent the day in the park.  To start our day, a very nice Boston Police officer working a NSTAR detail noticed I was looking for a parking space.  As someone was pulling out, he had a worker block the space with cones and as I circled back he said it was saved for me WHOO HOO.  We then headed to the park, walked the bases, sat up on the green monster, strolled through the EMC level where they have the Red Sox Hall of Fame filled with player plaques and past jerseys.  We said hi to Larry Lucchino as he passed us in the halls.  We had our pictures taken with Wally and the 3 World Series Trophies.  We even enjoyed a free Fenway Frank while sitting in the "red seat" in the bleachers where Ted Williams hit his famous home run.  Well, we did until staff came over the microphone and politely told us every tour is trying to point out the infamous seat and we are sitting in it so no one could see it.  So we waved to all the tours we could see throughout the park and moved our booties one seat over.  Click here to find the history of the red seat.

     In addition to all that fun, we had bags overflowing with giveaways and headed to Faneuil Hall to continue the fun with the rest of the family.

Here are some pictures of our day.
